Bedsider Birth Control Remind

Today, it just suddenly stopped texting me reminders. Why?? And now the app keeps booting me out when I try to go into it

this app is exactly what i was looking for, i like that i can customize the reminder with whatever i want and the sex positivity is a huge bonus! i also love that it’s not pink and frilly like so many other apps of its kind

This app is supposed to send you a daily notification to take the pill. It definitely DOES NOT. DO NOT RELY on this app for that. I have to put separate reminders in my phone’s calendar because this is not reliable at all. Otherwise, I do like the daily messages and links it sends.

I am now tricycling with the period every 10 weeks with Nuva but you don’t give the option for that. You only have it set the single cycle with period every month. Can this option be added? 4/20/20 Also app now keeps crashing as soon as I open. Can we please get an update for bug fixes?

I love the Flo app bc it did way more than just remind me to take my pill, but then unfortunately it glitched and stop So I tried Bedsider, does what it’s supposed and sends the notifications! But I dread opening the app to clear the banner. This time the article was “100 reasons not to have kids; they include vomit and stepping on legos” Hi, you realize people with children already take BC correct? And some people don’t even take it for that reason (ie: I take it for my skin and cycle to be stable) I know it’s trendy and edgy to be “cHiLdFrEe” but maybe just stick to posting medical/science based articles. Im looking for new reminder app 🤙🏼✌🏼

I know it is hard to please everyone, especially when we all have such differing opinions, needs, wants, and or preferences. HOWEVER, the app is terrible! When I was in college I had the text message reminders and it was great!!! Then I switched from the pill to an IUD. Several years later when I realized the IUD isn’t for me and I went back to pill, I went back to the handy dandy Bedsider. The notifications wouldn’t come through half of the time and the other half of the time I wouldn’t clear the days before notification, so it wouldn’t make a difference when the next notification came through. I am OCD and have to read texts messages and emails ASAP to clear the notification. It doesn’t bother my OCD when an app (that’s in a group) has a notification that didn’t come through as an alert. I miss the old Bedsider!! Now on to another birth control reminder system....

It was good for like 10 minutes, until it started closing unexpectedly. Disappointed!!

I love my Bedsider app. It’s consistent and adorable. Everyday I get a banner reminder at my set time and when I open it I get to read a super cute little message. Today my message was a link to an adorable video about sea lions and it said “you need this video about a sea lion rescue center in your life. Trust us, you need it.” And everyday the message is different and equally as fun, creative, and cute. The only negative thing I have to say about the app is that the notifications I receive about reminding me to take my pill are not as eye catching as i was hoping. I would recommend making them a little more colorful or creative. Maybe add a text tone option so you get to pick the noise your phone makes when you receive your reminder. And possibly make an option to have the message sent more than once at different set times so there’s no chance of forgetting your pill.

Not useful, not helpful for remembering NuvaRing. I can’t tell if I just don’t see it or if the app forgets to remind me, but either way it ends up not being helpful.

I’ve never written a review for an app before, but I had to share my thoughts for this one. This app was referred to me by my doctor when I first got birth control I was excited to know that something will be helping me keep track of my birth control. Then to my disappointment I noticed an irregularity in my notification reminders. Luckily I caught this mistake early but this app DOES NOT send you reminders on the right days or anything. I’ve already spoke to my doctor to definitely not recommend this app to anyone, and I’m letting you know now too. Don’t use this app.
